Re: Senate ponders policing of Net neutrality offenses

"Others on the committee questioned the need for 'preemptive' action against a problem they're not convinced exists. If the discrimination that Net neutrality advocates fear does occur, such a public outcry will develop..."

On the first part of the quote from the article, a prediction of telco abuse is not unreasonable.

On the second part, I've read that net-bias as an offense has a lot in common with, say, insider trading. It's relatively difficult to discover and harder to prove. And cases certainly do not come to the attention of the authorities via public outcry.

It's sensible to develop rules of conduct legislatively.
